Exactly!

Probably the same as those that want a 4 door Bronco. More room and easier to get into the back.

hmmmm, looks like someone else has similar tastes!

Not yet, but then I don’t use my front plate either so there’s that. I know 1up-USA sells a plate bracket if you leave your rack on all the time. We generally don’t unless we are traveling with the bikes.

Personally, I would not add another 75lbs to the spare tire mount. I know that would be less expensive and easy, but E-Bikes range in weight from 50lbs to 100lbs. The tailgate hinges can be changed to larger more supportive types but even those are done to add larger tires, not support an...

1up-USA.com. The SD rack will hold up to 100lb bikes with tires up to 4” wide. The RakAttach option allows it to pivot either direction. edit: I’m slightly biased as this is a southwestern Wisconsin company that manufactures their products here. Kuat also makes a pivoting rack adapter.

Unfortunately, the original Heritage builds were reserved for people that had early reservations that had not been fulfilled yet. Even some of those got pushed to 24’s. I was one of the fortunate ones but it took nearly 3 years to get it.

I love Moab, but for traveling via the air, I’d say Vegas.

We went from mini bikes to little dirt bikes to big dirt bikes and finally to Jeeps and Bronco’s. We were fortunate to have several places to go. Lived too far out of town for our parents to get us involved in sports. This was our sport!

No, it’s not just cool, it’s fricken awesome! They were so much fun to drive.

In the early days, to add Sasquatch to a Base or a Big Bend, you still paid for the automatic even if specifing a manual. We would call it the Manual Transmission Tax. I don’t think that was the case for the Badlands as much of the Sasquatch package came with it. I tried looking for some of...

It goes down on occasion for maintainance. Do worry thou, the rock stars at Ford will have it back up and runnning in no time.

That’s pretty much how I taught my daughter. Reverse gear, no throttle, ease out the clutch. Took her about ten minutes and she had the process down pat. Just need to learn where the clutch starts to grab and when your foot is completely off. It’s been probably 20 years since she drove a...

I was at the DMV the day I turned 16. So was my daughter and took her test in a manual as well. My step daughter waited a couple years and won’t even think about driving the Bronco. I’ve tried to tell her it’s the easiest manual to drive I’ve ever own. I too learned on a mid fifties Chevy...

Near the end of my stint living in Chicago back in the 80’s, I’ll admit that driving a manual in miles of stop and go traffic got old. But, I don’t even really have to think about it when driving now, but I’m never in stop and go traffic anymore. An automatic is definitely easier then and no...
